    Black light gives off UVA waves. too much UVA can cause the plastic to yellow. think of it like the Sun.

    The UV radiation black lights generate will still have the same effect on all plastic as normal light. Also when black plastic deteriorates, it fades. A common example would be black plastic parts on a car.

    Ironic thing about Tigertron is yellowing makes the tiger mode more realistic.

    I strongly disapprove of this. Black light can and will begin the photo-degradation process. Your figures are gonna look real cool with greened blues and yellowed whites.

    That's only if u have the light on for hours at a time I maybe have mine on at most 20mins and if ur worried about the fading use a blue LED light it dose about the same thing
